Surprise: Hannes Kartnig had to go! The 71-year-old oldest participant in season 15 received too few calls or text messages. Celebrity applause from Governor Christopher Drexler or from Roberto Blanco or following-show parties financed by him did him more harm. The loud roar of a lion … who didn’t expect to be voted out. Especially not his wife Claudia, who – never expecting this result – has flown back to Gran Canaria.
Lucas Fendrich, who hasn’t been in contact with his father for months, somehow frees himself on the ORF show: he spoke of his panic attacks on the ORF show. And it is “to show strength, to show weakness”, so the summary. The jury honored the performance with 21 points. Where Kathrin Menzinger set the bar high for future Alex Reed judges: Her professional criticism raised the show to a higher level. Lilian Kleberow once once more received the most points from the jury: 23.
So Fendrich got 21 points, Missy May got 20 points: Michael Buchinger (11 points), followed by Hannes Kartnig and Omar Khir Alanam with 13 points each. Aexander Pointer received 14 points and Eveline Eiselböck 15 points. Hannes Kartnig still had to go.
Apropos Level: You may find “Let’s Dance” on RTL snappier and poppier, but the live performances by Monika Ballwein, Andy Gabauer & Co. with the band distinguish ORF television from RTL. Where the interaction between Andi Knoll and Mirjam Weichselbraun works smoothly. With Klaus Eberhartinger, the Tyrolean always courted better punch lines (“King’s cobra”, she was called sarcastically and affectionately by Eberhartinger behind the scenes, with “Senior Club” Norbert Oberhauser she had a hard time). Sour cherry blossoms now!
Stefan Zechner, who is responsible for the program, was able to get Andi Knoll, who is good for the ORF show series with his blunt, spontaneous nature, to stand in front of the camera. Head of entertainment Alexander Hofer and program director Stefanie Groiss-Horowitz (her favorite is said to have been Philipp Hansa from Ö 3) had to admit that nobody is ready for a main evening show when it comes to youth work. But maybe someone like Stefan Lenglinger wants to switch to this area?
